Good ideas As Tymoshenko points out, Yanukoyvch’s first moves show that he has a long way to go before he proves he will govern in the national interest.

Promises to keep Ukraine’s new president should lead by example and make peace with his enemies, including Tymoshenko, as a start to changing the ugly political culture in the nation.

Hypocrite A few weeks ago, the Kyiv Post predicted that outgoing President Victor Yushchenko’s legacy would be mixed, writing that despite his many shortcomings, “the nation will likely reassess his achievements more favorably in the future.” However, Yushchenko has since – through a series of hideous last presidential actions – provided ample arguments to the contrary, and backs up the nation’s decision to get rid of him.

Stealing votes A solid yet squalid majority in the 450-seat national legislature this week trampled on the most cherished democratic right – the right to vote for and choose government representatives. In postponing the May 30 local elections for a second time (they were originally scheduled for this fall), 250 megalomaniac Verkhovna Rada lawmakers signaled a retreat from representative democracy.

Go Yulia Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has stayed unusually quiet since the Feb. 7 presidential election. From the information coming out of her camp, she has been amassing evidence of fraud in an effort to challenge results that gave Victor Yanukovych a three-point win. Volodymyr Fesenko, a political analyst, described her tactic as “not the silence of the lambs, but more like a lioness preparing to pounce.”

Thugocracy ahead? Those who are nostalgic for the era of former President Leonid Kuchma should rejoice. It seems likely that President-elect Victor Yanukovych will bring back unsavory governing and business practices from that corrupt decade.

Cop-outs The defeated 16 presidential candidates should stop being selfish and put the nation’s interests first by endorsing one of the candidates two remaining candidates.

Alarm bells The presidential elections haven’t taken place, yet the two candidates have already begun to show undemocratic tendencies.

A mixed legacy Many Ukrainians are relieved that President Victor Yushchenko will be leaving the political stage soon. During his five years of presidency, he failed many expectations and broke many promises. He grew alienated from his own nation, and voters turned on him decisively on Jan. 17.
Despite the multiple shortcomings of his presidency, the nation will likely reassess his achievements more favorably in the future.

For Tymoshenko A week ago in this same space, the Kyiv Post editorial staff endorsed Sergiy Tigipko for president. Today, we endorse Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. So what’s changed? The choices.
Jan 21, 2010 at 23:39
For Tigipko We have strongly believed for a long time that Ukrainians want and need new political leadership. That’s why we think the next president should be the best of the 18 candidates who is not Victor Yushchenko, Victor Yanukovych or Yulia Tymoshenko.
